3. Select the measurement mode (i.e. Series or
Parallel)
4. Once all settings are configured, hold down
button for 2 seconds to enter into
calibration mode.
5. First, do open calibration. Follow instructions
under “Open Calibration” section.
6. Next, do short calibration. Follow instructions
under “Short Calibration” section.
7. Now, the meter should go back to normal
display and user may proceed to take
measurements of components.
Recommendations
To achieve optimal measurement results, both open
and short calibration should be done. It is highly
recommended to calibrate extremely high or low
values for L, C, R and Z before making precision
measurements.
Notes:
1. If test frequency is changed, calibration
should be done again before making precision
measurements. Once calibration is done on a
selected test frequency, calibration data will
remain until power off.
